Yes, Google will index pdf files that you link to from your site, whether you link to it with an <a>nchor tag or point to it with a different tag like <embed>. But keep in mind that when you reference an external file with a tag like <embed>, the search engines will treat that document as being separate from the parent document where the referring tag resides, and it will not affect the rankings of the parent document.

The search engines generally deal with JavaScript pretty well, but you should not count on any text generated by JavaScript being indexed. Google will often crawl URLs embedded in JavaScript, but they don't usually index those URLs unless they find other direct links.

Google is the only search engine that indexes Flash. They can extract the text and any links in the .swf file, but as with <embed> etc., the .swf is not generally considered to be a part of the parent document. Google posted a good article on this. Search on "google best uses of flash" to find it. Good luck!

Hi, Controvi.
Have you ever worked it out? As for me, I have only tried to embed web-based PDF viewer into the browser. But I wonder whether there are any PDF Toolkits can help with it? You can google it and select one whose way of processing is simple and fast to help you with the related embeding work. It will be better if thePDF SDKyou select is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. Remember to check its free trial package first if possible. I hope you success. Good luck.

Yes, as described above, using a pdf web viewer is an easy way to embed pdf document into website. You can refer to a vertain pdf web viewer software or a pdf html viewer programming application, which allows to load and view pdf document in web broswers, like firefox, chrome, and ie.

As much as the HTML 5-tards might tell you that EMBED is ok after 15 years of us being told NOT to use EMBED -- :/ -- the tag you are probably looking for is OBJECT. After all, APPLET and IFRAME were deprecated in favor of OBJECT, EMBED was rejected in HTML 4 in favor of OBJECT, and IMG was supposed to go away in favor of... OBJECT.

Which of course is why the 5-tards re-introduced those redundancies with VIDEO and AUDIO... RIGHT.
